A family friend has confirmed what the driver did. Locked the **** in the car so he couldn’t get out to murder and maim.

He is literally a hero. I hope he gets tens of thousands raised for him and his family. Not too sure there will be an insurance clause for ‘terrorist twat’

The insurance people will be quick to claim no coverage as it was an "Act of God"

Media scum, no surprise there. Also the poor blokes name etcetera shouldn't have been released, he'll now probably be worried in case some loon targets him for revenge

Nice story mate, but I'm sure @Prestwich_Blue will be along shortly to give a story of meeting another minor celebrity to blow you out of the water :)

I literally bumped into Jimi Hendrix in Barratt's music shop on Oxford Road,I was going in,he was coming out.
He was playing the Odeon that night on the bill with the Walker Brothers,Cat Stevens and Engelbert.

I met George Foreman outside a jewelry shop in Caesar's Palace Las Vegas and have the video to pove it. He was an extremely nice man.

Did you grill him ?

Urban myth and inapplicable on several levels.

Despite what you’ve seen in films, insurance companies rarely use act of nature clauses.

understand the anger, but come on - arrests should automatically mean hanging ? it's a thick comment.

It has been stated by the authorities that the dead man's identity is known and that he was NOT on a Watch list.
Why is everyone on here assuming he was Muslim ?

Who is? Given the target it's as much likely to be an incel, anti-feminism attack.

The people arrested will have been on a watch list though, given the speed of their arrests post-incident.

Easy to say that after the event, but there are a substantial amount of resources required to raise and hold a higher terrorist threat lever, and it comes at a price, both in terms of personal liberty and financial.

I've said this before, but UK anti-terror agencies need to be on the ball every single minute of every single day to prevent an attack, and terrorists only have to get lucky once.

Or the taxi driver gave the police the address of the pick up, and the idiots were still there when they turned up to check?

He couldn’t, he was on a steak out

No idea what an incel is but do they carry out suicide bombings usually?

It's hard to tell with the grainy footage we have been provided with. I have zoomed in, and enhanced the image, and I can quite confidently say, that the passenger in the taxi looks like a Muslim.

I think he may be talking about accomplices

I know mate, it formed part of my job for 30 years and the decision isn’t taken lightly, I’ll stand by my post though.
